High Step Counts Require Fashionable, Functional Sneakers
An indispensable part of our wardrobe that marries comfort with versatility, sneakers have seamlessly integrated into everyday wardrobes with sophisticated transformations that still maintain long-lasting ties to their athletic origins. Today, we celebrate their rich tradition while embracing their evolution into symbols of contemporary style staples.
Types of Sneakers
From high-performance runners to on-the-go tennis shoes and high-fashion kicks—there’s a sneaker to fit every facet of your life.
ATHLETIC SNEAKERS
Designed to enhance your workout, athletic sneakers are essential for balance, comfort, stability, and joint protection while you move.
LIFESTYLE SNEAKERS
Made for everyday life, a chic sneaker enables you to stride from meetings to airports, brunches to errand-runs and everywhere in-between in effortless style.
How-to-Style Sneakers
Cuff your denim, throw on your favorite trousers, and lace up. A luxe pair of sneaks creates an elegantly understated look for the office, happy hours, casual soirees, and vacation travels.
Elegance & Poise with Every Step: Pumps
Heels not only transform an entire outfit, they also uplift, lengthen your gait. and quite literally allow you to see the world from a new (taller) perspective. Here’s what you need to know about heel height.
Find Your Greatest Height
KITTEN HEEL
For days that require elegance and a fair bit of walking, kitten heels are the perfect choice. Delicately designed with a shorter heel, a sleek slingback or sophisticated mule offers a stylish touch of height without strain.
MID HEEL
Pumps with 2-3” heels create the perfect balance of glamour, poise, and versatility to transition your look from day-to-night wear and help slenderize the leg with a boost of elevation.
HIGH HEELS
Designed to be bold and beautiful, high stilettos are often reserved for moments and occasions when we want to feel like our most confident selves. If three-plus inches sounds too daunting at first, opt for a block heel with more stability or the support of an elevated wedge.
A Sandals Ode to the Artistry of Leisure
Fashioned for the discerning individual who covets elegance and ease, sandals promise not just a step, but a sojourn into sophistication and liberation.
Open the Door to Open-Toe Wonders
SLIDE SANDALS
The most casual of the category, we often see ourselves slipping into our slides more than any other pair of footwear. These cushioned delights can make even the most leisure of wear feel fully couture with vibrant patterns or embellishments, like an esteemed logo from your favorite designer.
ESPADRILLES
Acclaimed favorites for touring on vacation and taking blissful beach strolls, espadrilles are ideal for their flexible soles and casual design from canvas, cotton, and supple leather.
PLATFORM SANDALS
Gain some stature with platform sandals, which often come in rich colors, patterns, and sometimes embellishments like studs, buckles, or bows.
Flats & Loafers Offer a Step Above and Beyond
That first big interview, a family member’s dance recital, or the day you ask for that big promotion—these are the shoes that get you there.
A SHORT HISTORY ON FLATS
Dating back to the 1600s, flats were once the symbol of success and continue to represent auspiciousness today, always achieving a fully put-together look when worn.
Types of Flats
BALLET FLATS
Slingbacks offer a peep of the ankle and feature a strap to secure the foot, making them sturdy and comfortable. Their dainty silhouettes go just as well with jeans and shorts as they do with skirts.
SLINGBACK FLATS
Sling backs offer just a little bit of skin with a strap at heel to hold you with complete stability
LOAFERS
With no fasteners or buckles, these classic step-ins are ready for the first day of school and, years later, for the first day on the job. One reemerging style, the penny loafer, held change for a shoeshine back in the day and now metaphorically holds the key to changing your entire look.
In a world with abundant choices, finding your perfect pair is about personal taste and sometimes practicality. From athletic endeavors to sophisticated soirees, the right shoe not only complements your outfit but can elevate your overall demeanor. Whether you’re commanding the room in polished loafers, running through the city streets in your trusted sneakers, or making a statement with striking heels, every pair in your shoe collection has the ability to flip the script on your usual look, creating a new style narrative all your own. Find your sole mates with the help of our online styling assistants, online or in person, who have a vast knowledge of all Neiman Marcus has to offer.
